Out off 11 staff in our office, we have 9 birthdays in December and January
Do IT staff everywhere conform to this rule?

I read once that children born in the later end of the year tend to be more intelligent.
I think it has something to do with the school year age cut-off being August.

This may or may not have any bearing on your question.

I will take this as a backhanded compliment

More intelligent or more advantaged?
Being up to a year older than others in the class can give you a head start, especially in the early years.
So it probably does have some bearing on his question - similarly qualified people having close birthdays.

I think that's what it comes down to.
Becaus ethe school year starts in September, half the class can be up to a year more mentally developped than the other half. Then again, if the school year was from January, you would get the same problem with a different half of the class.
The only suggestion may be to have two separate classes in each year.

That's why middle class people only have sex in late December/early January
